In the park we have a mini zoo with all kinds of birds. But I have never seen before a rooster like the one in the picture. Very strange. It’s the only one of its kind in the moats of the citadel where the animals live, he calls for his hens but nobody answers. It’s a loner.
I searched on the Internet, and I learned that it’s a buff laced polish rooster. It’s a breed that has its origins in Eastern Europe, and the feather crest is due to a particular shape of the skull. They have some visibility problems because their eyes are covered by the feathers. But they are kinf ofe j¡kite,
Chickens are interesting birds. They also have some special types at our local farm, but the rooster has at least a harem. This one must be quite a lonely guy.
